Summer Talk-Walks Schedule 2015 (May – July)

What is it?

Inspired by  http://walkingseminar.blogspot.co.uk/ the Lancaster walking seminar is (also):

A MONTHLY WALK  DURING WHICH WE TALK-WALK ABOUT VARIOUS ISSUES CONCERNING ACADEMIC WORK. THE IDEA IS THAT TALKING-WHILE-WALKING ENHANCES THINKING IN WAYS NOT ATTAINABLE BEHIND A DESK OR IN A SEMINAR SITTING DOWN.

When to meet: check this blog! Summer vacation will be weds or thurs once a month at 12

Where to meet: Bowland North Quad (outside Marcus Merriman Lecture theatre entrance – number 23  on http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/maps/campus.pdf )

Who’s invited? Anyone with an interest in academic work – students (postgraduate, undergraduate and research) and staff (academic and related). Alternating talk-walks will be along accessible routes.
